"We have finished our mission." Noel and Anna stood in front of Shale, reporting.

"Mhm." Shale nodded and recorded their achievements and asked, "By the way, I apologize since I am talking about this after you just come back. I know that you're tired, but do you think you can go for another mission?"

"Mhm?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows.

"It's surprising to find you asking us like this, Instructor." Anna tilted her head in confusion.

"You two are currently the strongest pair in this generation. I don't know the extent of your ability, but considering you can handle an Advanced Level Demon, you should be able to do this mission. No, even if you can't do it, you two should be able to escape to get some help."

"What's the situation, Sir Shale?" Noel asked.

"Do you know Kirika and Lokhar?"

Noel and Anna exchanged looks and nodded. "Yes, we do."

"We sent them on a mission a month ago. But we still received no information about them."

"Aren't they spending their free time? I believe other than the requirement, we're free to do anything we want," Anna replied with a calm expression.

"The problem is… there is no proof about their mission completion when the time limit should be up a week ago. The place is not that far, so the letter should have arrived by now."

"!!!" Noel and Anna widened their eyes in shock.

"To be honest, I was about to send a letter to the Demon Banner Army branch around that area to notify them about their conditions. Although I know that candidates can die during the mission, we're not going to let you die easily. So, I'm trying to figure out what happens."
